Seven Eleven Sponsors Snacks for Navy First Fleet Soldiers Leading Wildfire Suppression in Gangwon

Seven Eleven's snack sponsorship for the Navy 1st Fleet.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Convenience store 7-Eleven announced on the 21st that it has launched support activities to cheer on the military personnel who played a major role in the wildfire suppression efforts in Gangwon Province.

7-Eleven provided 10,000 snacks to the soldiers of the Navy 1st Fleet Command, who made remarkable contributions to the wildfire suppression efforts in the Gangneung and Donghae areas.

The Navy 1st Fleet soldiers were deployed to the site from the 4th to extinguish fires in the Gangwon region. The number of personnel involved in the fire suppression operation reached 1,000. In particular, the 15 senior soldiers nearing discharge who went to the wildfire site to build firebreaks, remove smoldering embers, and support necessary supplies served as a great example.

This snack sponsorship was prepared as part of 7-Eleven’s Love for the Country campaign, which has been ongoing since 2014. Above all, it was planned to encourage the military personnel who are working hard for the rapid recovery and stabilization of the communities severely damaged by the wildfire.

Earlier, on the 7th, Lotte Group’s Distribution HQ, to which 7-Eleven belongs, delivered relief supplies for wildfire victims. Through local 7-Eleven stores, Lotte Distribution HQ delivered about 22,000 food items such as cup noodles, chocolate, and bottled water to Samcheok City Hall. In addition, 7-Eleven has been regularly sponsoring supplies to the Navy’s Naval Cruise Training Group every year since 2015, continuing its relationship with the Navy.

Seon Sinjeong, head of social contribution at 7-Eleven, said, “We have consistently and diversely continued support activities for the military personnel who always dedicate themselves to the nation’s peace,” and added, “We express our gratitude for the efforts of the Navy 1st Fleet soldiers who worked hard to extinguish the wildfire, and we will further develop the Love for the Country campaign to provide sincere communication and practical help.”
